The plastic material D is applied to the outer or exposed side ofthe 4fibrous netting, and as so pplied forced into and'y through its meshes, -and thence'y into and through .the

. meshes of the wire-netting, and at and about the strands of the fibrous netting and the wires of the'wre-nettingl and the whole, so as to secure a practical keying, as it were, of thel plastic material to the Wire-netting, the fibrous netting affording no hinderance thereto, it

Apressible. As wire is expensive, for purposes of economy,l which is quite necessary in the` use of it, to make a compound wire-netting` and plastic compound lining vor' finish, the,

meshes ofitsfnetting are made quite open-and large in area, and, as is plain, the plastic couipound in its application thereto', if not otherwise obstructed, as itis in the"combination of thisiuvention, aud as will hereinafter appear, is allowed most free passage through them and to the back of the netting, resulting, finally, in the placing ofa considerable auiount of it at the back of the wire-netting, where it is of no practical use, except so much thereof as is requisite to key`itito and about the wires of thewire-nettiug. In this manner much of the plastic compoundjs wastedthat is, more is used` than is of any practical benefit or utility; but if, by avoidingsuch waste 'ot' theA plastic material, the meshes of the wire-netting are made smaller in area by using more wire, resulting in a saving of theplastic material, an

' expense is added to the lining ornish in another direction more-to the disadvantage thereyof for its practical employment than the use of a wire-netting having the larger and more open meshes, accompanied as it' is by a practically useless consumption of the' plastic material. The meshes o'f the fibrousl netting as compared with those of the wire-netting are small plastic materialthrough the meshes of thewirenetting andto the back thereof to an extent beyond what is necessary or requisite for the desiredf fastening 'by keying of the plastic material to the wire of the wire-netting. This result ci' saving of the plastic material,plai uly withl the use of a tibrous netting, is secured in secured to the v-inside of the wire-netting or a-most economical way, and one that leaves 6o the plastic material on the wires for all practical purposes as ,'elosely and effectively as if the fibrous netting were not used.

Fibrous' netting may be placed against and c5 against and secured to both the inside and "outside oflthe wire-netting; but it is preferable to apply'it to the'utside, as has been described, or otherwise in any suitable manner.; Agaimthebreusnettiug', in lieu of being in Aa. sheet separate from the wire-netting, as .has` been described, may be in the same sheet therewith-as, for instance,the wires and meshes of the wire-netting may becrossed and intertwined withstrands, animal or vegetable. 7 5 Again, for the fibrous netting, a netting of animals hair or animal fibers may be substituted, as also a sheet of pulp fibers, perforated through its thickness, and for thel wire-netting a perforated metal plate maybe used. A wire- 8o netting, however, as well, also, as Ia librous netting, is most preferable, and a combination and. arrangement of them such as describedi I'he plastic compound patented to a Mr. Merritt,'as herein referred' to, is the plastic 85 compound, as before stated, most preferable to be used; but it isnot intended to limit the invention thereto, andv for a description of said compound reference is hereby had to the Letters Patent thereon before mentioned.

` Having thus described my invention, I claim!- 1. A lining or finish for walls, ceilings, partitions, &c., of buildings, composed ota back' ing in part made ofniet-al, such as wire-net 95 ting with meshes or a plate with perforations, and in part of bers, animal or vegetable, in the form ot' a netting with meshes or perforations in reduction of the area of said metalmeshes orperforations, in combination with a roo plastic material applied to said backing, substantially as described, forthe purpose specilied.

2. A lining or finish for walls, ceilings, partitions, &c., of buildings, composed of a back- :o5 ing in one layer of wire-nettiug with meshes, and in another and separate layer of fibrous netting with meshes, applied together in combination with a. plastic material applied to 'said backing, substantially as described, foi` i to the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof I'have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
